For a number of years in the 2000s, city editor Dana Coffield and I produced a section[3] called Colorado Sunday, which focused on things to do, people to know and interesting facts about the centennial state. I’m definitely biased, but readers seemed to respond positively to it. My favorite sections were ones where we focused on the state itself — either its history or its quirks. It has the Four Corners! The square dance is our official state folk dance! It has a tower in eastern Colorado[4] where you can see SIX states!

I took great delight in using Colorado’s iconic flag design in my illustrations for stories:

As time goes on, staffing and content needs change, as do readers’ tastes, so we folded much of the content in Colorado Sunday into other existing sections. But for its time, it was a fun product that made me more appreciative of where we live.
